In their version of a spread attack, the Rainbow Warriors are recruiting on Oahu, the neighbor islands, Florida, and Southern and Northern California this week.

There are three coaches on the mainland. Two coaches are working the neighbor islands, and two will be working Oahu.

The Warriors' recruiting goal was to restock the defensive secondary. They have received commitments from two corners (Cesar Fermin and Nick Nelson) and three safeties (Aaron Glover, Daniel Lewis and Manly Williams). Keelan Ewaliko, who redshirted this year, is staying put at safety.
